Exactly. If we're going to reopen the constitution, it had better be for a better reason than removing a historical figure that has no power anyway. The gain or loss to Canada from ditching the monarchy? Pretty much nothing either way.
I'll save this for another day when the royals do something to threaten Canadian sovereignty (which won't happen), or when there is an actual benefit to ditch them (can't think of a reason that would make the process worthwhile). Until then, I'll just continue to not think about them because, with or without them, my life isn't really going to change.
